this is an amazing internet joke! i was just reading through some live updates, here's an excerpt:

10:53 am: police profiling protesters; checking IDs to access Broadway checkpoints around Wall Street. Video stream shows police selectively allowing some people to pass without ID based on appearance, while blocking other people who "look like protesters" from passing even with ID.10:44 am: thousands occupying Liberty Square10:39 am: reports of LRAD sound cannon used by NYPD to disperse protesters singing National Anthem near Pine St10:37 am: Bloomberg responds to Wall Street shutdown10:32 am: one march headed down william toward beaver stopped by police; people who "look like protesters" not allowed to pass, but "suits" allowed through10:30 am: protesters chanting "her cuffs are too tight" in solidarity with 60 y/o woman who can't feel her arms after being arrested (via)

In lots of the initial stories on Patrick Wit, the Yale QB who chose
"The Game" over his Rhodes Scholarship finalist interview, it was
reported that his coach also passed on the scholarship in order to
pursue professional football. Turns out that might have been an
overstatement...(gulp)

"Witt was unable to be reached for comment. He has refused to speak about
his decision this week, releasing only a statement saying that he would
withdraw the application and concentrate on the Harvard game. He
informed Rhodes officials of his decision last Sunday night, and it took
them a bit by surprise.

“It is rare for someone to decline an interview,” Gerson said. “I cannot
remember anyone else who has ever declined an interview for an athletic
event."
